“Steel alone will not save you; know thy enemy and the bane that breaks it.”
Skybane rebuilds Skyrim’s hidden damage rules in a D&D-inspired way.

[]Bones shatter beneath hammers, while arrows splinter on ancient ribs.

]Enchanted, silver and bound arms cleave the incorporeal. - Fire kindles sap and sinew, yet falters on obsidian skin.
Lightweight SkyPatcher perks & spells inject weaknesses and resistances on the fly.
Whether you dual-wield daggers in the Deep Roads or swing a war-hammer in Nordic crypts, every strike matters – and every creature demands respect.
When paired with SkyValor, every strike cuts deeper, every weakness becomes fatal – the hunt becomes art.
Adapt, hunt, survive – welcome to Skybane.
